Bringing Revolutionary Digital Audio to the Conference Room

With our Yamaha Ql1 digital mixing consoles, our audio capabilities are head and shoulders above the rest, with real life possibilities to help us engineer a perfect sound.

Its a compact unit and delivers a considerable amount of horsepower with features that are effective. We find that the Dan Dugan Automixer is especially effective during panel sessions where many microphones are in use at the same time. With this feature you never miss a word which is a weight off the technicians shoulders.

Racks of Effects and EQ’s

Built in Dante Networking

8 omni outputs can be selected to feed speakers, cameras, stage monitors or the press and the use of Dante Networking we can connect all the wired mic’s backstage via the digital stage box.

In order to produce great mixes, our audio engineers need to have, natural sound as a starting point. That’s why the Yamaha QL1 features top-spec circuitry and components, to provide you with pristine audio from input to output.

Were happy to offer this amazing bit of kit to our inventory and really enjoy using it on live events.

Built in Relay Screens

The Kia Oval was the venue for the ISBA for their Annual Conference, the T shaped room and low ceiling height with pillars meant that the standard screen setup couldn’t be used. So we had to devise a bespoke stage set and screen arrangement that would work.

2 x 70” LED repeater screens were situated in the outer sections of the room to enable the audience to be view the content and camera closeup. We also used 2 larger 90” LED screens for the centre stage set which were large enough for the majority of the delegates to view. All these screens were slotted into the panels to create a seamless backdrop which was branded for the client.

By using a Panasonic Robotic camera which we controlled backstage all the necessary shots were shown immediately at the press of a button. This helped make sure every seat position had a clear view of who was speaking and what they were presenting to the audience.

Set & Staging

We love adding wow to a stage set by creating detail such as curved screen surrounds and recessed set panels. Our sets can be versatile, conference by day and sparkling glitzy awards backdrops by night.

As you can see from this Pharmaceutical conference we used gobos and vivid uplighting to create a backdrop to really punch out to the audience.

By taking on the clients initial thoughts we can create the ideal stage and set solution that will convey brand, feeling or achievement.

Staging is a perfect way for the presenters to get up in front of the audience and we have a range of different heights and sizes on offer.

Bringing Ideas to life

Kerry food had their summer conference at Thorpe Park followed by time out on the rides in the afternoon. The main message of the event was divided into 6 key areas as shown in the photo above.

We helped bring this to life by displaying across 3 high definition wide-screens. Keynote was the presentation software used to develop the idea and by customising the slide size we were able to display the whole Powerpoint as one across 3 screens.

Utilising sliding transitions and magic move builds with using video inserts to add movement and effect to the presentation we were able to display exactly what the client had initially proposed.

We displayed the presentation by using a Matrox triple head monitor box to split across 3 HD projectors hung from the venue truss, this enabled bright vivid colours and pixel sharp focus for the whole room to see.

Immersive Dinner for Bubble Food

We are pleased to have supplied the lighting design for Bubble Food at their immersive multi-sensory dinning experience in the River room at Glaziers Hall.

Bubble who are the Haute couture of the events world have recently featured on channel 4’s Worlds Most Expensive Food show.

The brief was to orchestrate lighting equipment to offer multi sensory elements throughout the evening along with a bespoke soundtrack theme for the evening composed by Doug Haywood sound design.

Flickering Fire Lighting and the sounds of a roaring fire, a ticking grandfather clock and a purring cat whilst guests foraged around the table centre for their amuse-bouch starters.

We used pinspots to highlight the colourful table centre flowers which held secret edible surprises for the guests to hunt for.

During deserts we illuminated the effect of Bright sunlight with Wasp ice cream and buzzing bee sounds. The feast concluded with Smoked Cigars petit fours and espresso, all complemented by twilight lighting scene and the sounds of a bustling italian café at night.

An enjoyable evening was had and goes to show how lighting can transform the senses to assist with a perfect dining experience.

Event Replay and Web Hosting

GB Audio Visual facilitated the AV for UDG Healthcare Capital Markets Event. The client asked us to host the event online so that users could log in and watch the presentations for up to a year afterwards.

We filmed the conference using 2 HD cameras, 1 wide and the other manned to get close-ups of the speakers. Each powerpoint presentation was then placed in sync with the video of each presenter.

Offering the online user the presentation agenda on the homepage they could then click to whichever speaker they wished to watch online so they get to have the same experience as on the day of the event.

We also procured full analytics from the hosted website which were incrementally sent to the client.
